@Guinea54 Tyson ducked Lewis at least twice before their fight. Cant give you exact dates off the top of my head, but Tyson paid Lewis 4 mil to step aside in 1996 to fight Bruce Seldon, promising Lennox a fight after. But he vacated the WBC, where Lennox was his mandatory and fought (and ate) Evander Holyfield instead. Tyson had the worlds best (worst in hindsight) promoter in the sport, and was the most popular fighter on the planet. He had full control over who he fought. He ducked Lennox for near 6 years. He sparred Lennox as teenagers, when Lennox wasn't even a full on heavyweight yet, and within a few rounds Lennox had him figured out.
He beat Ruddock in 5 minutes, something that took Mike 2 nights work to properly do.
Lewis took care of his body, Mike didn't.
Lennox surrounded himself with friends and the greatest trainer.
Mike surrounded himself with yes men and Don King.
Lennox Beat Evander twice
Mike did not.
The only top HW's Lewis didn't fight were Bowe, and that wasnt his fault, and George Foreman.
Its Tyson's Fault he wasn't at his best.
